The Unicorn Purse A wealthy family in Deng-Zhou was marrying off the daughter, Xue Xianglin. To protect the daughter's life, the parents prepared a lot of properties for her. A local tradition was to have a large purse, called "unicorn-trapping purse", to accompany the bride, wishing that she would have powerful and promising sons. Miss Xue was in a sad mood for she would leave her mother soon. And the mother filled the purse with jewlaries to make her daughter happy.When a sedan chair was carrying the bride to her husband's home, it suddenly began to rain. The team went to the nearby Chun-Qiu Pagoda to avoid the rain. Miss Xue heard sobbing from the other bride, Zhao Shou-zhen, at the pagoda. Miss Zhao was sad for her poverty and hard life in the future. Sitting in the sedan chair, Miss Xue wanted to help the poor girl. She gave Miss Zhao her only purse without leaving her name.
